Falk made his Copenhagen debut on 13 July 2016 and scored the final goal in the 3–0 Champions League qualification away win over Crusaders.[2] In his first season at the club, he won the double; the Danish Superliga and Danish Cup.[3]
On 5 August 2020, Falk scored the third goal in a 3–0 win over Turkish champions İstanbul Başakşehir to secure a spot in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.[4]
International career
On 29 August 2013, Falk was called up to play for the Denmark national football team.[5] He played the first half of the 2-1 World Cup qualification win over Malta on 6 September 2013.[6]
